Archived moveables
Posted: 19 August 17 8:09 pm
I'm wondering if there's any way to conduct searches that include archived moveables?
In recent times there seems to have been a tendency to quite ruthlessly archive moveables. One DNF seems to be a death sentence for a moveable, regardless of an owner's wish for it to remain active. I've found quite a few moveables where the previous log has been a DNF and I can't help but think that many of the culled moveables are probably still there. Perhaps the co-ordinates were a bit out, perhaps the hider gave no hint? I was talking to someone today who failed to find a moveable I hid. The cache is quite large and I hid it in full view, albeit in the bush. Seeker was looking down, not up. The hide was above head height. I checked; still there.
Any moveable that's been DNF'd without the previous hider confirming the casualty is potentially still there and it'd be nice to be able to check on this if one happened to be in the area. Ideally, I'd like to be able to view the ghosts on GA Cacher and make my own mind up as to whether they were worth a second look.
